I just recently installed new springs and stuts/shocks and thought I would share some pics. I purchased the Eibach pro system with sportline springs. It will lower a sport suspension about 1.2" and a non-sport 1.8".

I chose Eibach over H&R because I really do not like the raked look. I really like the ride. The suspension feels a bit softer than OEM but when you need it (hard cornering, etc..) if feels much, much stiffer.

Comments welcome

very nice look,tomorrow i can get my Eibach Spotline+Bilstein B8 Sprint shock absorber

I recently put wider tires (255) on the rear so it is now a staggered setup (even though all 4 rims are the same width). It rubbed a little on some plastic where the rear bumper meets the fender, but a little trimming fixed that issue

Sorry for reviving a dead thread but what kit did you install... The Eibach pro system or the eibach sport system? the drops your quoting are from two different systems in terms of Sport suspension vs non sport suspension....
What color are your springs?
I am interested in which kit got you that ride height.

after riding this post i've decided to write my concern
my car is an e46 330d with m tech suspension...i've attached two pictures.
after i changed the 17" wheels with another ones on 18" but different sizes (j 8 with ET 20 front and j 9 with ET 22 rear, 215/35 with 225/35) the rear ones are rubbing the fender at hard bumps.

so, i lift the car to see how badly is the problem and i saw both dampers damaged by the rust and with oil leaks. definitely i must change the rear bumpers but i'm not sure i can solve the rubbing problem, anyway,
doing some research on the web about the m tech bumpers... i also want to change the front ones and i don't know what to chose.... the same M tech bumpers or Koni FSD with eibach pro kit (30/30)
right now the car is already litle bit low but i want lower.
after i solve the suspension problem i will se if the tire are still rubbing on the fender and i will roll it.

I just installed the Eibach Pro kit and the Bilstein Touring shocks - and running 255/35/18 in the rear and rubbing
I brought the car into a custom shop to have the fenders rolled, but am still having rubbing problems with rough roads. very annoying, and these tires aren't that big.

New to this forum and want to say hello! Sorry for posting on a old thread. I have a e46 323 coupe on eibach prokit with stock shocks and struts. I'm looking to upgrade a lot of things...My question is is it worth spending the near $300 for the sportline opposed to the prokit I have now? is the sportline that much better with handling and lowering compared to the prokit?
Also, will koni yellows work directly either eibach spring kit?

Whichever one you pick, buy the 95-99 E36 M3 rear shocks, they're a direct fit & will work better.

1) Bilstein Sports: An excellent strut/shock (I run them w/ E36 M3 rears) what I refer to as "set & forget" because they're non-adjustable. Compared to the koni, they will raise your Bimmer up about 5-6mm higher based on their high pressure gas design.

2) Koni Sports: These are adjustable so you can dial them in based on your needs. If you ever go to a bigger/higher spring rate, these can be readjusted to compensate. The rear shock adjustment is a PITA because you need to un-bolt them to make any adjustments.

3) Ground Control "Special Koni Sports" $199 each. These special Koni's are better for several reasons, read provided link.
